CINCINNATI, O., Nov. 1.-The finding

In the vicinity o, Laurel and John streets
Sunday morning. The fearful engine of

der enough explosive force to destroy
hundreds of lives, and SKATER the strong
est OF buildings, was cautiously enough
found in the hands of a child scarcely
able to talk, but yet not ignorant OF It's
terrible power. With 1t, in his childish
way, he intended to have a little pleas
ure In blowing up a stable. With him,
as a co-conspirator in his plot, was an
other destroyer of buildings whose years
did not exceed seven. The bomb was
made OF one and 8 quarter inch gas pipe,
ten inches in length, plugged at both
ends with wooden shoppers. At one end
was a Illuminating cap evidently made
Tor a revolver cartridge. Wedged in be-
tween thei iron and the wood was a fuse,
which, from appearances, connected with
the cap. About eight inches of the fuse
swung loose and was wrapped in yellow,
paper. A gentleman passing along the
street had his attention attracted to the
bomb by the talk of the children about
blowing up the stable. With a promise
ct treating them to candy, he got posses
sion OF 1t, and was told by the child that
his father made it at the shop. The
youngsters at that moment caught sight
OF q policeman and scampered off. The
gentleman carried, the bomb to the CEN
trail police station. The officers CT the
Oliver street police station were notified
and a careful search of the locality was
begun.

LIBERIA NO HAVEN.

The Minister to Liberia Claims to Have
Become an ex-Crank,
WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Col. Taylor,
of Kansas City, the minister to Liberia,
is now enjoying a two months leave of
absence, and he talks as if at the end of
that vacation he is likely to decide. that
he does not care to return to Liberia.
Said he to a reporter: 81 have SUBJ
mitted a report of 115 pages to the STAGE
department, and it beats anything Mark
Twain ever wrote, because what
saw beats anything that Mark
Twain ever saw. Liberia! why, there
isn't a horse, or q cow, or a mule, or d
useful animal of any kind. net a single
car or a cart, or wen a w~heelbarrow in
the whole republic. But l tell you they
are great on organization in Liberia.
They have a much bigger cabinet than
the cabinet of President Cleveland.
Every military company in the army has
about twenty-seven officers to two or
three privates. There are a few more
than 1900 voters in the republic, and
fully one-half of them are officeholders.
Before | went to Liberia, y said he, 81

negroes in America home to Liberia, but

Daily Consultations With the Cabinet
Reduction of the Surplus.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE president
has already commenced his message, and
is having daily consultations with the
members Of his cabinet over official mat
tiers that will be treated therein. 1t is
understood that Speaker Carlisle will be
sent for, or has been sent for already, to
confer upon the most important topic to
be dis~cussed-the reduction of the sur
plus. His views are we'll known, but
the president is nxous to find some basis
upon which the democrats in the house
can be induced to agree. That is almost
impossible, but he already has the views
OF Congressman Scott and others. and
many suggestions from his political
friends in the west. Mr.. Fairchild will
go to New York before his report is COM
pleted to consult with financial leaders
there. There is no doubt that Mr.. Car
Isle will be elected speaker again.
There is not the slightest sign of opposi-
tion, and the first thing he will do after
being sworn in will be to call William B.
Kelly to the chair and ask him to appoint
the committee on elections to consider,
and Immediately act upon the claims OF
Mr.. Thoebe to the seat of Mr.. Carlisle.
The speaker wants the case decided be-
fore he performs any more official acts
than are absolutely necessary for the or
ganization of the house.

President Potter Determined on Fas,
Time to the Pacific Coast.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 14.-It has trans.
pired here that the Chicago and Council
Bluffs lines had urged the Union Pacific
officials to postpone their new time card,
which went into effect Sunday, but
President Potter could not comply with
the request, because he had advertised
the new time too extensively to admit of
any postponement, and SO notified the
Council Bluffs lines. The Union Pacific
officials are greatly surprised that there
should be any objection to the i%naugura-
ton OF fast time to the Pacific coast, for
1t is a popular measure, and they feel
confident that in putting on che double
daily trains with new equipment, and
making fast time, they lave taken a step
in the right direction. 1t is confidently
predicted here that the wisdom of Mr..
Potter's action will be apparent in the
largely increased passenger traffic, as
the public will not be slow to appreciate
the superior advantages thereby given
them,

General Villas third annual report is

rany with his successor. The books of
the department show that, for the first
time in the history of the country, the
postal service is now on a self-support
ing basis. The postal deficiency June
30, 1885, was SO, 900, 900. This was
reduced during the year ending
June 30,1 1887, to less than
" ,0O0,0 coo. An equal reduction will
be made during the current year, SO that
the deficiency will be but 81, 900, 600.
When 1t is remembered chat 10, 600 gov
eenment officials all over the country use
the mails free for public business at d
cost CT -, COG, 600 yearly, it can be seen at
once that the p~ostofice department is
practically self-supporting at this time.
and, by the end of the year, will show a
profit of upwards of 81, 000, 600. This
prosperous result, Gen. Villas says. Is
